Reference to a totality need not refer to a conjunction of all its elements [Gödel]
     Full Idea: One may, on good grounds, deny that reference to a totality necessarily implies reference to all single elements of it or, in other words, that 'all' means the same as an infinite logical conjunction.
     From: Kurt Gödel (Russell's Mathematical Logic [1944], p.455)
